Bats, Processing, and Math
Starting this fall I’ll be writing for a local media company about education reform, and I’ll be working on systems for engaging the community in helping to galvanize said reforms.
I will still be posting effervescently here at ThThTh, and teaching, and supporting BlueHarvest (BH-III hits in mid August), and having a second baby! Yay!
For now, I’m just blogging my little head off over at Iowa Transform Ed. Check out this article on spontaneous project-based learning over the summer, starring: my two nieces, some bats, and some Processing code.

Part time. I’m teaching mornings this year. Thanks for the concern, though. I’ll mostly likely be back to full time ’13-’14.
